Trends

“We’re seeing power, augmentative communication devices, from high end to low end — everything’s out there. It’s a constantly changing environment, and the basic devices are constantly being refined. Even though they [perform] their basic function, [we’re seeing] lighter weight, greater strength and more durable pieces of equipment.”
